韩国应该以日本为榜样跟随美国 2 of 2

Korea must also realize that the more it blames Japan for atrocities, the more it will reawaken American memories that many Koreans were Japanese soldiers, and the Koreans have a reputation of brutality towards Americans and other prisoners. The war is over. Time to move on.

Korea must also understand that PM Shinzo Abe is most welcome in the USA, yet PresidentPark is sounding increasingly like a nutcase who is agitating and causing problems for us all. Behind the curtain is China, who plays this agitation for China's own ends.

The mind of PRC is about 70 years old.The mind of USA is about 240 years old.The mind of Japan is well over 2000 years old.

The mind of PRC is like that of a baby, claiming everything it wants as its own, self-centered, near-sighted, and numb to all the harm, destruction, and disharmony it is causing.

The mind of USA is like that of a juvenile, wanting to see itself as heroic, right, and glorious, unable to come out of the childish mental paradigm of seeing everything in terms of "us against evil."

The mind of Japan is like that of an elderly, feeling powerless, dull to what is going on around it, and heavily caught up in a sense of guilt to the point that it considers apologizing and giving money are reasonable solutions to any unreasonable blame.

Maybe the relative proximity in substantial age is one of the hidden reasons the US tends to fall toward siding with PRC rather than with Japan. At least on an emotional level.
